Like wayland?
Where none of the desktop environments offer the same feature set. And the more compositors there are the harder it is for apps to use those new protocols, and guaranteeing a ton of bug reports from users using an unsupported compositor. That just hinders Linux desktop app development.
- sam_lowry_ 4mo agoWayland is different, they pretended nothing except compositing and window positioning matters.
- ChocolateGod 4mo agoI don't believe Wayland makes any decisions about compositing, it's up to compositors to decide how (and if) they want to do that. Wayland at it's core is an IPC for sharing memory buffers containing surfaces around and details about those surfaces.
- Jnr 4mo agoI doubt that. But they clearly thought that people should have a choice. And it is great. But fractured community using different tools for the same task makes slower progress. Each approach has its positives and negatives. I think it is great that we have wayland and systemd. It will eventually lead to something greater in the future.
